Ryla, doggie nature of Buddha, shown above died last week. It was her time... she was a service dog and breeder of many fine pups who went on in serice to their masters.... my dear friend Bill and tenzo assistant, was her lifelong caretaker who supported and loved her in the stages of her life. She was a well-loved companion in the zendo.
